In addition to managing Sun's x86 and SPARC servers, Ops Center 2.5 now extends lifecycle management capabilities to Sun's built-in virtualization technologies, including Solaris Containers and Sun Logical Domains (LDoms).

"Companies tackling large virtualization deployments are finding that although virtualization has helped consolidate the number of physical servers in their datacenters, it hasn't been the silver bullet," said Jim McHugh, vice president of Datacenter Marketing, Sun Microsystems.

"Successful virtualization projects need automated tools that streamline the management of both physical and virtual assets, a complex task in today's datacenters. Ops Center 2.5 enables IT and systems administrators to reduce downtime, improve IT productivity, meet compliance requirements, and respond quickly to business changes," added McHugh.

By using advanced technologies and built-in automated workflows, Ops Center 2.5 allows users to maintain consistent deployment of firmware, OS, and applications across physical and virtual resources, speed deployment time, as well as improve business continuity by quickly provisioning new systems and dynamically allocating resources said the press release.

"Ops Center provides us with a comprehensive overview of our open infrastructure, both virtual and physical servers. Having a single interface makes it easier to manage resources and deploy patches and updates across our network, saving the organization time and money," said Ted Archambault, director of Unix Engineering, Wyndham Hotel Group.

Further the release added, from a single and intuitive browser-based console, Ops Center 2.5 automates and controls Sun infrastructure as well as heterogeneous environments running the Solaris Operating System (OS), Windows , Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL).
